I just noticed that the reviews you got were from 2003. Oh well :) This story has been a pleasant discovery so far! I had to laugh so hard when I read this:

“She keeps wanting to know why she can’t be a twin.” Elrohir explained.
Thranduil joined the conversation. “And what does Elrond say to that?”
“He said ...” Elrohir paused, sounding puzzled. “He said ‘Never again.’ I’m not sure what he meant.”

It is excellent. Still that innocence and Thandruil's reaction is brilliant! The encounter with the wolf and her cubs had me on the edge of the seat for a while. The story is captivating. And the thought of 28 chapters still to read makes me smile!

Author Reply: I started this story in January 2003, and it just 'growed'. I'm now on chapter 30! The three will have plenty of adventures in Lasgalen before the action moves to Imladris (where the current chapters are set). I also have plenty of other stories for your perusal!

Thanks for reviewing.

Hi Jay,

Thought I recognized this story! I've been following it on ffn, and want to tell you (finally!) how much I'm enjoying it. I really enjoy your characterizations, especially the elders' being worried but resigned, knowing that their children won't stay out of mischief for long. The elflings' scheming and antics are a delight.

Thank you!

Yikes, that last line sounds like something to look forward to! "There's no such thing as giant spiders." Lol. THis is great!

Author Reply: Yes - the twins (and Legolas) are about to find out more than they want to about the spiders.
